Occidental Petroleum Corporation is engaged in oil and gas exploration, chemical manufacturing, and midstream operations.

Occidental is a major player in the US, Middle East, and North Africa with a focus on carbon management and low-carbon technologies.
Net sales increased to $6.8 billion, up from $6.0 billion in the same period last year, driven by higher volumes across all products and higher domestic natural gas prices. However, this was partially offset by lower oil prices in the oil and gas segment.
Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $766 million, from $718 million in the prior year. This was driven by increased revenue.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased to $1.9 billion, from $1.7 billion, primarily related to increased sales volumes in the Permian Basin from the CrownRock Acquisition.
